Nov

2017
It’s been a long time since we’ve seen a good partner promotion. These can be fun, picking up activity credits and earning progressively more miles, trying to do it at the cheapest cost by finding eligible partners you can buy something from for very little month — or partners you can transfer points from and earn credits — all while generating a big bonus.

Citibank keeps adding airlines as transfer partners for the ThankYou Points program so that your Citi ThankYou Premier Card and Prestige Card’s points are getting more useful. They don’t have any of the major US airlines as partners, but those are diminishing in value, they have niche carriers which offer value if you pay attention and look.

The new Emirates first class launches December 1 flying to Geneva and Brussels. The cabin was revealed this morning at the Dubai Air Show after a long wait.
It’s a gorgeous suite. It’s far more understated than the current bright golf motif.

Even Some Great Credit Cards Aren’t No Brainers to Get Anymore

A couple of days ago I wrote that Hyatt cardmembers can now get 10,000 points for successfully referring friends to the card. I think it has a nice signup bonus, albeit arguably not as nice as when they offered 2 free nights at any property, and the annual free night with renewal is worth the card’s fee. And all reports are that it isn’t subject to 5/24 for getting approved.
But issuer restrictions on card approvals and signup bonuses that have been introduced over the last couple of years make us pickier about which cards to get, and more strategic.

Man Dumps Food in the Aisle Instead of Waiting for Flight Attendant to Pick Up Tray

The passenger apparently ate what he wanted and decided he wanted to read without his meal tray in the way.
I think what impresses me most about this incident is that he dropped this on the ground but his cup of water is still full. It’s a miracle of modern physics.

18 year old Gabrielle Canales was filmed inside a New York Uber — many Uber drivers do film their rides — stealing all the money out of the driver’s tip jar.
Meanwhile a taxi driver headed from the Madrid airport into town snorts cocaine during the trip using “the permit taxi drivers require for their job” as the tray for the coke. That’s on video, too.
Buy United Miles for 1.88 Cents Apiece

Over the summer United offered to sell miles for 1.88 cents apiece, I believe for the first time. What’s interesting is that selling miles cheap was the US Airways strategy that came over to American Airlines, and now that former US Airways and American President Scott Kirby is United’s President they’re doing it too.
He knows that the airline is in control of their cost of redemption, and that any miles sold above that cost generates profit.
